'Mary chose what is better,' Jesus said. She sat at His feet and listened. I want to be like that. But I can’t. I tried and tried, but just don't seem to be able to sit down and stay there. I wrestle with that. But I found out that I might not be able to sit down and listen the way Mary did, but I can at least give what I have, even if it is only a minute of focussed attention. And I can ask God to help me to listen longer and better.
Based on verses from the Holy Bible:
“Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty can say to Him, You are my defender and protector, You are my God; in You I trust”.
(Psalm 91:1-2 GNT)
“…there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord”. (Romans 8:39 GNT)
Based on Psalm 27, this is an unapologetic declaration of where we're putting our hope. Written to build faith when facing adversary, this song causes courage to rise as we seek the presence of the Lord and to fix our eyes on Him rather than the trouble around us.
What we see and live and experience in this life now is just a fraction of what God intends for this world. One day we will see it's restoration in full, but for now, we can call, pray and sing that into the brokenness of today.
